because i cant draw without music, my fellow dark lords here on reddit fed me well with spooky vampire spawn battle music from their games and this happened. I've put what i could into a playlist and am going to use it in my own campaign.

I asked my followers for immersive music for Rictavio to help draw him, and one of you cheeky buggers sent me this: https://youtu.be/S_MXYfqrpK0?si=ddyKj2xj1XpUUXBT I have no complaints HAHA!

Here's screenshot evidence of that one time I fell in love with this dashing carnie. </3 T_T

I worked till late last night working on him in time for Obidougs stream, and was up before the rooster crow this morning with bub.

i was even finishing colouring while the stream was live so Obidoug could show his players on stream.

uhh i made Izek shirtless for the PC Aurelia who is romancing him and helping redeem him. I knew she'd go crazy for it, and she did.

I was sent references for his prosthetic and also the pose he wanted him to be standing in (I think it was a... Marvel Legends hero? I don't play the game i wont even pretend to know anything about it lmao)

I tried to keep the pose close to what he wanted. I referenced cos official art of izek, his axe and his belt.

I also referenced my first drawing of Izek, who was made working with Obidougs references and ideas for how he imagined him. Sexy dark and brooding with a full head of hair! https://www.deviantart.com/moonberry-maple/art/Izek-with-hair-aka-gothic-belmont-1272626058

A couple people asked for me to do a version with a fiendish arm and since i used to be an avid World of Warcraft player back in the day, i had no other recourse but to reference Deathwing https://youtu.be/hU4EBXu4wto?si=hAfOa3WShbuq08zp because I LOVE the red/orange glow on black aesthetic and i think it works with this brooding firebug.

here's Myrtle from The Old Bonegrinder / Village of Barovia. i drew the crying version a couple weeks back and was asked to do a happy variant to lift the mood for after she's been rescued . i really loved the idea especially after hearing stories of parties rescuing the children and buying them toys from Blinskys. i thought it was adorable so here she is holding a teddy and smiling.

Dialogue:
Male Strahd: "A toast to our guests!... and I thought I had to worry about age as a male. The years haven't been kind to you."
Female Strahd responds: "Ah, what a waste of a good brother. You were right to be jealous."

i wanted to see what my male and female Strahd looked like next to eachother. now i know.

and now i want someone to make a guide where their two barovias are merged and they ally because they're unable to permanently kill the other... and also just so i can enjoy their toxic bickering.
